OK we'll stop development talk here but remember, you asked.
I am using a new profile. This is a fresh install of Gutsy Beta, not an upgrade.
The lock-up is a real problem. I have been working around the problem by setting thunderbird to *not* download messages at startup but as soon as a new message arrives it locks-up again. This I expect could be a real problem for users regardless of the fact I may be the first to report it.
Thunderbird-1.5 never exhibited this problem. In fact I've never had any issues with IMAP under thunderbird-1.x.
